We stayed in Campbell House for two nights at the end of May. What a lovely experience! The house has been painstakingly updated and restored to its earlier glory. It is perfectly comfortable and spotless. The master bedroom has a small private ensuite, with a second full bathroom available for the other bedroom on the second floor. The period kitchen does not contain a stove but does have a microwave and small fridge. The Inn offers meal sittings with reservations, and there is a casual restaurant (The Dock Marina) a short walk away. I had the privilege of meeting all three of the Artisan Inn owner/managers during our stay (mother, daughter and son-in-law). They made a point of providing us with excellent information and guidance about the town and local area, and were incredibly helpful in packaging a beautiful painting of historic Trinity that I bought in their gallery for shipping. This was our first visit to Newfoundland. Beautiful Trinity was absolutely delightful, and I am so happy that I booked us into the Artisan Inn! It was a privilege to stay in this lovely historic home.

I loved my stay here at the start of the season. The town was pretty quiet, most of the actual attractions were closed, but thanks to Marieke and her mother I got to see many puffins and an iceberg! I was given a great set of suggested itineraries and I used them to the fullest. I began by exploring the town itself, ended up fantasizing about living there one day! I stayed in the Studio King Suite in Barbour House, which had its own deck with water view where I sat each evening with a glass of wine, wrapped in a quilt. It was delightful. The kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything you could need, a lovely space with its thoughtful lighting and peaceful colour choices. The bedroom was such a joy, with books floor to ceiling, classics and modern, lovely linens, a comfy bed and pillows, good bedside lights, pretty curtains but also roller blinds for privacy and for blackout. The bathroom had a great new bathtub as well as shower attachment, thick, white towels and a housecoat lined in sheepskin material. I ate in the restaurant one night, and thoroughly enjoyed the meal, the service and the atmosphere. I mentioned to the owners as I left that a lightbulb over the stove was out, and that I had difficulty opening the sash windows and have already had an email telling me those issues have been dealt with. What more could anyone ask? I shall be back, maybe with other family and friends, to stay in one of the larger beautiful properties they offer. But this first visit was perfect.

Trinity is a little slice of paradise - beautiful, serene and peaceful. This was our second stay in the Harbour House - two years in a row. It has the best location in town, offering breathtaking views of the bay and lighthouse. The house is just perfect, we felt at home from the moment we opened the door. The kitchen is big and is equipped with everything one needs to cook or even bake. Bedrooms are cozy and beds are very comfortable. The best part of the house is the 3-side terrace with outside gas fire pits; we couldn't have asked for a better location to relax.
Tineke and Marieke are wonderful hosts, friendly, helpful and very efficient. We valued the guide book on the coffee table and the updated TV system created by Marieke which provides valuable information about everything important to a visitor: restaurants, local events, natural attractions and suggested itineraries. We were touched by the sweet treats on arrival, a sampler pack of chocolates from Aunt Sarah's chocolate place down the street.
Trinity and Artisan Inn inspire and make you feel completely at peace, connect with you and give you a sense of nostalgia. When you leave you will feel that you will want come back. Thank you for a wonderful stay at Harbour House, we are looking forward to visit you again.

Couldn't have asked for a better location to relax. My room was just the right size space with all the necessary accountrements one typically seeks when away from home. Entire staff was friendly and accommodating, making me feel as if I were part of their family. Plenty to see and do in the area within a reasonable driving distance, making Artisan Inn a great home base. The staff has great recommendations for things to do during your stay. However, the views from the deck over the water are fabulous and you would be doing yourself a dis-service if you did not enjoy the sunset view with drinks followed by a fabulous meal inside at the Twine Loft. Menu rotates but ask if they're be making the Blueberry Chicken - it's simply divine.

We stayed at the "Hill House" of the Artisan Inn Vacation Homes. It is located on the top of the hill, but only 2 minute+ walk down to the Twine Loft Dining place. This house has a lot of windows and on all sides. You can watch sunrise or sunset from the opposite ends of the house without leaving the home!!! If whales are around, can easily spot them through the windows overseeing the ocean. The house is full of wood or pine all throughout.. closets, beams, tables ... every furniture is almost customly made. A comfortable feel of a warm holiday home overlooking the town of Trinity on all sides. It has a propane fireplace if you want to use one by the front porch, A stainless steel propand BBQ at the back. Dishwasher, microwave, large TVs and two beautiful washrooms. Its a 2 storey house with a double bed upstairs on the second floor and it is a huge bedroom as it takes up the whole second floor. Make sure you read the instructions on how to lock the front steel door as locking the door is initially tricky. Instructions are clearly written on the guide book on the counter top anyway. A pull out sofa bed is also available on the front door. I and my wife love it. One of the best accommodation we have come across for staycation. A great way to relax after a day of exploration around the area.

This was our 3rd Canada Day weekend spent at an Artisan property. We have stayed at the Nathanial House and twice at Cove Cottage. We usually book for the following year upon check out. I can not say enough about the whole experience, from the home we rent to the meal we enjoy at the Twine loft each year. The staff is always so friendly, the homes are always very clean and equipped with everything we need to enjoy our stay. Glenn is such a wonderful server at the Twine Loft restaurant and the meal ( my first vegetarian this year) is always delicious. I feel the price is reasonable for a three course meal and Margo was wonderful! We have booked The Lighthouse for next year!!

The inn is comprised of a number of old houses throughout the community. All perfect in detail and views. The only drawback was the dinner restaurant. Here the prices were very high and only had two choices on the menu. Also, if you have a child there was nothing child friendly nor priced for a child's small appetite. The price was $65 per person, regardless of age. They really should adapt a bit for children so the parents can eat at the Twine Loft. It would not take much to put chicken nuggets on the menu for example. The inn has a wide range of houses. All of which are amazing. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Coming from Ontario the first impressions of the town were exactly what you would see on tv ads for Newfoundland; just beautiful scenery and location was ideal. The Inn itself was as advertised and our room was more than enough ; the bathroom had everything we needed. Dale was excellent giving us orientation and suggestions. The hot breakfast was very ample and delicious. Would recommend this Inn!

We stayed 2 nights at the charming Artisan Inn. Our room was cozy, clean with beautiful- soft bedding. We also had two great breakfasts and dinners at the Artisan Inn. The restaurant was extremely accommodating to our vegan preferences and went above and beyond which was greatly appreciated. Marieke- owner and the restaurant staff were great and so friendly. We enjoyed chatting with them and getting to know more about the New Foundland lifestyle, culture and perspective.

We were greeted warmly on arrival and given a very in depth review of all the amenities at the Inn as well as the activities in and around Trinity. The dinner and breakfast the following morning was delicious and the servers were professional and friendly. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, unaware when planning our trip of how very delightful Trinity is as well as the Artisan Inn. We could easily return here for a week and use this as a base for visiting other areas and exploring Trinity more. We actually hope to do just that in the future, and will definitely plan to stay at the Artisan Inn.

Hello Sharon, We stayed in room # 9 which is the ground floor of a separate building close to the main building. The room has a kitchen, large sofa, dining table and very large bedroom with kingsize bed and two Muskoka chairs on the verandah…We really enjoyed it here very much! If you plan on staying there, please give our regards to our fellow countrywoman Tineke, who owns this great place.
Kind regards from Holland, Henk
